Mock draft: Rams pick a receiver at #13 but not the one you are thinking

He has the Los Angeles Rams choosing a top wideout at thirteenth overall in Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson.
Makai Lemon of USC has been the most popular player for the Rams of late. There are concerns that Lemon may be too stylistically similar to LA’s star receiver Puka Nacua. In McShay’s exercise, Lemon came off the board two picks before the Rams were on the clock to the Miami Dolphins.
Finding Matthew Stafford another playmaker to fit alongside Puka Nacua and Davante Adams is a direction I could see Les Snead and Sean McVay going here. Tyson is a tall, tightly packed, and versatile receiver with dynamic route-running skills, and he vastly improved his contested-catch ability (66. 7 percent contested catch rate and 1.
6 percent drop rate in 2025) during his time working with ASU WR coach (and former Steelers great) Hines Ward. Durability will be the big question with Tyson, but when healthy, he’s the most talented receiver in the class. Tyson’s list of recent injuries include major knee repair, a collarbone, and a stubborn hamstring.
